SCM Championships

At risk of "beating a dead horse"....at least in respect to broaching this topic again! I had a number of conversations at convention with people who would like to see USMS move to a 3rd Championship meet in the fall for short course meters. There are some great Zone meets going on...when you have 600+ going to Long Beach or New England why not up the ante a bit? Thoughts?

  • I am not aware of any facilities that have two 25scm pools but doubt that even a national championship would draw over a 1000 swimmers. I think Long Beach had close to 800 in recent years...spread that over 4 days and you have a very manageable meet. The IU Natatorium in downtown Indianapolis has 2 SCM pools + 2 warm-up areas (an additional pool and big diving tank) The Annual Fall Classic Meet SCM is held October 29-30 in this very pool! Come check it out!
